Tome 1 Chapter 4:
Ismaël and Legoff arrive at the Malian border, with trucks loaded with smuggled weapons. Mexican drugs vs Iranian guns, handled by narco-jihadists. Who says globalisation is not working? Sheik Najim takes it a little further, by requesting radioactive material. Ismaël is put in charge of the “deal”.
They then rush towards Tassili N’Ajjer, where the earthquake epicenter happened. Joining Françoise and seismologists, they all witness a strange pillar of smoke, while the birds continuously fly around. Things and people present do not seem to relate one to the other in any way, but according to Françoise still covering radioactive effects on fauna, “a good story is one that draws unexpected connections between seemingly unconnected events”.
But only Ismaël sees what emerges from the smoke.

Birds wasting away in a national park, refusing to migrate. Identical geometric markings on the wings of completely different insect species. A pillar of dust in the desert. A small-time hood travels to India's shipbreaking yards in search of a giant nuclear-powered construction robot. A big-time crime boss makes a killing off the Algerian Revolution, in a world where it happened fifteen years later than in our own. "A good story," insists reporter Françoise Halfort, visited abruptly by a post-menopausal pregnancy, "is one that draws unexpected connections between seemingly unconnected events." Four star creators join talents on a vast canvas that takes in the entire French 20th century.

Saturday and Sunday are a pair of lizards living the good life, lazing around on a tropical atoll and fishing off the beach. But when Saturday comes down with a case of acute questionitis, the big mysteries—why are we here? how did we get here?—won't leave him alone. Only travel can cure his ills, and he sets off with Sunday in tow. What's a best friend to do but tag along? Together, the indefatigable duo have encounters both fanciful and philosophical in this charming and freewheeling paean to simple joys, curiosity, and friendship, fit for all ages.
